Can anyone please recommend a good online health food shop. I am struggling to find one on the high street here that keeps things like coconut flour, flax seed meal, almond flour and the like

There is plenty of healthy food in every supermarket, be aware that almond flour is very very very high in fat and therefore also calories.
One slice of a cake made from almond flour may be very low in carbs and have little or no affect on bg levels but it is also very high in calories. So if like you are trying to lose weight or like me trying to sustain weight loss already achieved you need to watch the calories you eat just as much as the carbs you eat.

Tesco stocks soya flour? How does that stack up for low carbing? In selected stores I've also seen brown rice flour.
I've used both to cook with, varying results, but I'm not clued up enough on carbohydrates, I tend to cut flavour enhancers, trans fats and cut out what i generically class as "****" from my diet.

Thank you all for your replies, will have a look around the suggestions. :thumbup:
Sid I am aware about the calorific content of almond flour, was only planning on using a small amount in the minute muffins to satisfy that occasional sweet tooth, just means an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill to compensate :roll:
Our nearest big supermarket is a 20 mile round trip although Tesco open next week in a town near by :clap: (sorry, bit sad clapping Tesco!) so just thought it might be easier to buy the more unusual items online (never even thought of ebay!)
